Could tutorial mention DMs a bit? There’s a certain amount of new players, especially whose first language is not English, cannot realise the COM command on left sidebar means “communications” so they’d miss out many messages without realizing.
Or even better have a notification for new DM messages so I also won’t miss out messages : )
More and better tutorials is always a good thing. You mentioned that you want to strike a balance between being helpful but not being to hand-holdey. Hopefully, the tutorial tasks are optional and people can skip past some of them if they understand enough and just want to get into doing their own thing.
I think discovery is part of the fun so as long as a particular game element doesn’t leave someone completely lost or crippled then let them figure it out on their own.
Existing players are the best teachers. If you can make corporations more relevant that will make it easier to turn them into a community where existing players mentor new players.
